It’s my first day as a police officer in Flashing Lights, and I’ve just received my first call. “Aggressive driver in red vehicle seen in area, locate and stop,” the dispatcher says. I’m an untested rookie with a crisp uniform and a new car, and putting a stop to a road tyrant sounds like a great way to cut my teeth on this whole policing business. I squeeze my grotesque body, this vague approximation of a human that the game has seen fit to curse me with, into my car and speed off down the street.

It seems we’re closely approaching a time when the tech will start being utilised in games, however. At GDC, with the help of Nvidia’s RTX and Microfot’s DirectX DXR, Metro Exodus developer 4A games showed a demo running in real-time that demonstrates the power of the tech. Notice how effortlessly light reflects off of surfaces and … [Read more...] about New Metro Exodus, Star Wars Unreal Engine 4 demos demonstrate the power of ray tracing
